No.
The process is to add or subtract 0.5, (not 5), from the boundaries of the interval. Strictly speaking, the amount to be added (or subtracted) is half the measurement unit. Many discrete variables are measured in integers but:
UK shoe sizes are measured in half-numbers. So you have sizes 7, 71/2, 8, 81/2 and so on. The continuity correction would be 0.25.

Why is this distribution referred to as a geometric distribution?
The geometric distribution is: Pr(X=k) = (1-p)k-1p for k = 1, 2 , 3 ... A geometric series is a+ ar+ ar2, ... or ar+ ar2, ... Now the sum of all probability values of k = Pr(X=1) + Pr(X = 2) + Pr(X = 3) ... = p + p2+p3 ... is a geometric series with a = 1 and the value 1 subtracted from the series. See related links.
